I was reading this article, then saw the last paragraph, and I thought “I bet the autor of this article is Prasad”. I scrolled up and I was OMG I can’t believe this. I suppose a website like GSMArena must be neutral, but that last paragraph was really too much.

@4493dcbca72a7c4ecc8e950a8da53a77:disqus That’s not exactly true. For example the manufacturing plant in Salo, Finland that will be closed, isn’t making cheap dumbphones at all, it makes smartphones like N9 and N8 that are sold in Europe. It has nothing to do with dumbphones being shipped to and sold in Asia. Salo makes smartphones for Europe. Nokia is just cutting costs wherever it can. Elop has driven Nokia into deep shit.

Pat, my friend, I understand what you’re saying about Nokia, but the same does not apply for Samsung. Samsung is a WorldWide power at the moment, not only Asia-centric…

tvgadget// My god, it’s just not possible for someone to not want to understand what somebody else wrote. The workers condition is NOT going to get fixed. This has a goodwill PR stunt written all over it. HTC, Nokia, Nintendo, LG etc, they have all done this procedure. Just because the uninformed and biased Prasad doesn’t know about it, does not mean other companies don’t do it. Samsung have workers condition quality every single year around August. Stop being such Prasad fan.

@prasad:disqus i agree with @2e616694841105081d77d6f148b50b7c:disqus you should never mind these trollers.. nobody wants them here.. you are a professional writers, and it bothers people if you low yourself to their level.. because i get the feel that you try to troll apple haters in your post, while your post comes from a credible source, your writing might bring doubts upon other people.. even when replying you sounds just like other trolls.. please have proud in your professions and stay calm during replying.. “it’s not about what you’ve said, it’s the way you’ve said it”

Prasad, I must agree with you about the situation there. But judging by your comments, I can tell you spend quite some time with people/fanboy/troll comments (not necessarily replying, but minding). There will always be some idiots who will keep blattering nonsenses. I know it might be annoying when people tell misinformation wish such ignorance but we can’t stop them all and shouldn’t even try, ’cause it’s pointless. Nothing will stop them from misleading the newcomers, but the newcomers shouldn’t be following them. And I didn’t mean the fact that you reply to them with my previous comment, I meant how you reply to them. Anyway, that does not have anything to do with the topic.

Michael, I don’t know whether Nokia and Samsung manufactures their devices at Foxconn, but how does that change whether it’s Apple’s foult or not? The fact is that it’s Foxconn’s mess.

I’m not an Apple fan, nor Android. I’m neutral.
